My Appraisal Practice

Headed by Julie Kerlin, GG, CM, Southern California Appraisal Lab provides a wide range of jewelry appraisal, gemological, consulting, and research services throughout Southern California. My appraisal practice is unique, as I provide mobile appraisal and gemological services. My lab comes to you -- either your home or office. Equipped with both a portable laboratory and traditional, full-scale laboratory equipment, I have the resources and knowledge to meet your jewelry appraisal and consulting needs ethically, with objectivity and accuracy. The many benefits of mobile appraising include:

You maintain control of your jewelry and are never without it -- no leaving it for days or worrying should something happen to it.

You have the opportunity to ask questions and learn more about your jewelry and the appraisal process. I feel the more you know about your jewelry, the more appreciation you will have for your sparkling pieces of art.

You still have a productive day at your home or office while I complete the gemological and appraisal work.

As a Certified Member of the National Association of Jewelry Appraisers (NAJA), Julie performs her appraisals in a completely independent, impartial, and objective manner. Julie's appraisal documents are created in compliance with NAJA standards and in accordance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice, (USPAP).
